The All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate, Monday Okpebholo, won the governorship election on September 21, 2024, and the Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has promised to reverse the outcome.

As the State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal convened again on Monday, the party made this commitment.

This was said in the statement issued following a meeting of the party’s leadership, which included Asue Ighodalo, the candidate for governor.

The meeting was called at the request of Tony Aziegbemi, the chairman of the State Caretaker Committee, according to a statement signed on Sunday by Henry Tenebe, the secretary of the Edo State PDP Caretaker Committee.

The party reaffirmed its determination to recover the mandate, which it claimed the Edo State people had rightfully granted it during the most recent gubernatorial election.

It called on all party members and the state’s citizens to continue praying and supporting it along the way, as well as the gubernatorial candidate.

The state PDP urged party members and devoted supporters throughout Edo State to never waver in their prayers and support for the party and its leadership, stating that it recognised and valued their dedication, loyalty, and steadfastness.

It stated that Edo has experienced severe setbacks in recent months and voiced serious concerns about the state of the state under the APC-led government.

“The PDP reaffirmed its unshakable commitment to the rule of law and upholding constitutional democracy in the State. The party strongly believes that law, order and security are essential for the peace, progress and development of Edo State and Nigeria as a whole.

“The party chairmen unanimously passed a vote of implicit confidence in the State Caretaker Committee led by Tony Aziegbemi, and the party’s candidate in the last governorship election, Asue Ighodalo. They commended both leaders for their outstanding leadership and exemplary efforts in piloting the affairs of the party in the state, which have fostered unity and progress in the Edo State chapter of the PDP,” the communique read in part.
